Round 21: Dragons vs Penrith Panthers - 28 July @ 2PM

Some of our middle and on line defense is not top grade standard. I saw countless sloppy one on ones by slow guys like RFM, Molo and Eisenhuth even S'ua and Luch. Poor ms again by Eisenhuth, BMM and Molo. I also wanna see a swap between Luch and RFM.

Flanno has been really good at bouncing back after losses.. but getting us back after 2 very tough games is gonna be tough cause the Dogs do not go away.. but they are 100% beatable if were at our best.. but can we be up that week.. dunno.. anyway.. gotta get thru the storm first.

Its also frustrating when Flanno finally pulls the trigger on those sloan/rava/feagai changes.. and now he has to backtrack... and even sione is injured.. ffs
 
The Team stats tell the tale. Panthers had all the possession 58%, completion rate was 80%. As a result they ran for an incredible 1,000m more than we did. With our 42% we completed 65%. You can't give away stat's like that and beat a reserve team.

Not many options for replacements in the halves or back 5. Unless he is going to give Tamale a debut. Not sure about salary cap but if it's not an issue, Ryan C, Coric, Egan, Alex T could all be given a chance.

Forever the loyal optimist Dragons supporter. God bless you. I'm hoping we finish 12th now, we could easily slide down to 15th.
 
Why is it when Hunt plays Flanagan has an ordinary game. Without him last week he had his best game of the season. Is he intimidated?
Hunt is our no.1 playmaker that's the way it works. If he's not there then the coach gives extra responsibility to others, mainly to his son.

Rav has had the wind taken out of his sails and played with low confidence yesterday. Not sure he is the answer.
Yeah he is struggling, he tried a few of those plays where he wants to run ppl over along the sideline but he was bundled into touch every time.

But with Sione/Matthew gone, whats Flannos options? Tamale or Ravalawa on the wing + Lomax stays at fullback.. or Sloan comes back and he can just leave Lomax on the wing..

its not gonna be a fun game to make changes like this... pro and con for either direction he goes.

2 things, 1. Glad I wasn't considered good enough to coach 1sts, and 2 my name isn't Shane Flanagan. Good luck to the coach because whatever he comes up with he is on a hiding to nothing
